Wanna put him into an #MRI and really see what happens in his brain while he listens to/plays along with music? Yall done got some scary pictures ya gonna be lookin' at... And I really Don't Think You're Ready!
Wow!!!! Absolutely amazing the way this young man Mathew has turned blindness into a triumph and ...humbly ... gives all the credit to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Very touching indeed.
@@millions2nette I'll tell ya what it is; Money and eye candy. You Must Be Able to Provide Both for the great red dragon (Satan) while you're here on Earth and turn a blind eye to God as if he never existed! That way you can be falsely rewarded by the devil later, only to be truly punished by Jesus in the #LakeOfFireAndBrimstone at the #GreatWhiteThrone . Got it, average joes?
I had the honor and pleasure of hearing Matthew perform a couple of years ago at the Monty Alexander Jazz Festival in Easton, MD. A complete joy to watch and listen to! I also had the privilege of meeting him and his mother in the lobby of the venue after the show. I told him I play piano, too, but not like that! He gave me the biggest, warmest hug while his mom took our picture. What an unbelievable young man!
I just watched you too on 60 minutes... You are AMAZING! I've been playing by ear since age 4.... You ARE what I was TRYING to be all my life!😂 You go get it and I'll never stop playing! I have a Mason & Hamlin - saw you playing one in one of the clips. You can come play mine any time! 😀 Congrats on the story and your success! Jesus first.
This was posted 4 years ago, and I find myself crying tears of joy and clapping, just as if I was there that night! So moving to see so much raw talent, despite of what some may call challenges! I would love to hear him play live!!! Much respect to this brother!
First time watching this guy play piano. What a brilliant talent! It must be hard enough learning piano when you can see, so goodness knows how much more difficult it must be for someone who can't. I am continually astounded by the raw talent out there..
I HAVE WATCHED THIS VIDEO AT LEAST 8 TIMES AND WILL PROBABLY WATCH EVERYTHING ON YOUR CHANNEL, YOUNG BROTHER. FROM A DETROIT MUSICIAN 45 YEARS & COUNTING, I GOT TO SAY- YOU ARE GOD-GIVEN AMAZING.
We gotta get this cat doing songs for media outfits (news themes, backing tracks, gameshow tunes)? This man will certainly throw his heart into anything that keeps him moving and makes him think even deeper then he already does?
Matt you are my generation's Stevie Wonder, and I'm so amazed by your talent and amazingly beautiful spirit that inspires others and has an innovative way of making people feel.. making people think 😎🎹
What an incredibly talented and beautiful young man!!! His parents must be so very proud. What an exceptional example he is for our youth today. We need more children like him and that starts with the family. In the times we are in today we must come together and all pitch in . We need to steer each other towards our path to God and truly treat each other like brothers and sisters like God wants us to do. Sometimes we need to be an ear to listen or a role model but whatever it takes to turn this world around. We need to silence the hate, we need to water gardens of peace and love. What an inspiration this beautiful young man is!!! God Bless Everyone!!!!!! ❤️🙏✌️♾
Well, of course we need more children but someone like Matthew is one in a billion, to be blessed with a God given talent like that. What you have to admire(as with Stevie Wonder) is that they don't see being born blind as a handicap......if anything they're grateful to have been blessed with such enormous talents!
@@fitawrarifitness6842 It's a lot easier to get good sound quality for a large venue like this. It can be plugged directly into the sound system and mixed with the rest of the instruments, whereas a grand would have to be mic'd up
...can't anything but "OMGx1trillion!!!!" What a sincere AWESOME talent! Thank you Almighty God for the privilege of seeing this Young Man!!! What a gift of love he is to mankind!!!!
I believe in Jesus Christ as The son of God and I also respect and honor others spiritual roots. Whatever your grounding this is a Divine Moment. I'm of am age that I experienced the WONDER of Lil Stevie Wonder and this kids energy is sincerely that of especially Lil Stevie Wonder. It is a rare video. If you get a chance to view the introduction before lil Stevie performed with that harmonica as a teenager, This right here here is in some ways strikingly the same.
In the words of the Musical Genius himself... "Just because a man lacks the use of his eyes doesn't mean he lacks vision". Matthew reminds everybody of Stevie Wonder and has incredible talent. Hope to see more of you in the near future Matthew. God bless you man. Keep it up. 😁
God is so incredibly wonderful to create such a talented man. God,as well, put people around him that obviously saw his awesome talent and took the time to nurture it. He blows my mind. God’s speed Matthew.....keep thrilling us with your talent.❤️
Matthew, you are AMAZING! I am amazed. The way you hear the background music and translate it to us through your piano is beautiful. You're a true artist. Not only is your music colorful, it's vibrant and active! I am mother to an autistic daughter who sings. She just made ten years old, and had the chance to visit the White House to sing for Michelle Obama. She plays piano as well. She really enjoyed watching and listening to you play. Your parents are great too. Keep going Matthew. I'm a fan!
Matthew Whitaker Channel you were amazing i hope u go far in ur career im a huge fan stebie wonder wpuld be proud if. he seen tjis aspecialy because he is one of ur hero's that inspire u much u did good love u
' WOW, WoW, Wow ' , You Rock and play with so much Passion and Love on the Keys its Wonderful and at the same so exciting to see you play the Keys. When you play at the Apollo again for the crowds I would be honored to see you play. Keep the spirit alive and the passion of your playing with you all the time! It takes years of playing like that to feel the keys so well. I practiced all the time in the pitch Dark all the time at night time to gain the soul of the piano and the keep board! You are pure - Magical ! WOW ! Looking forward to seeing you play some original music - drums - in the future. Others will play the drums as you play the Keys. Perhaps a Bass guitar player will sent the Tone ! WOOOOOOOOW !
“The only thing worse than being blind... is having sight but no vision.” - Hellen Keller
Well she was an expert on the subject!
Clearly people that disliked this video have no vision! Or hearing!
Unconscious Builder - Every video will have dislikes no matter what, forget about it
Easy for her to say
She may be under valuing sight. I can tell you first hand that its pretty great
To all the dislikes; Is everything ok at home?
theshadowtalks - great question!!! Talent, heart, bravery, focus, determination, radiant beauty--- who is against these things?!?!?
People being jelly 🙄 keep on shining fella 😁
The dislikes make no sense. The only reason anyone would dislike this young incredible talent is race related.
@@annajones5833 I don’t know. I never raced.
😂😂😂😂
Now, that’s talent. He mix jazz and classical in the same song.
He studies at Julliard.
He is classically trained.... Beautiful talent!
@@JaySmith-jv1es
How funny.
Same school where Chicago got started…
with no sight!!!!!
@@Scoutbq1l
Yeah that's right?
You're not reading that wrong.
He's also a credit to all the visually impaired people who accidentally hit the dislike button.
I think it was bc of the fake grand
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 so stupid
Those who press the dislike button deserve all the bad stuff coming to them for being such ignorante.
He looks like Steve Wonder also he’s great
Exactly 😂💯
I’m so blessed to say that he’s my friend.
Its mind boggling that a person can dislike this. At the very least don’t give an opinion. This kid is incredible
Fucking amen
Blindness of the mind is having eyes but can't see. It's obvious that is their malady

Those are the people who started piano lessons at six and are still trying to conquer their first classical piece - pure jealousy! 👏 👏 👏
The boy can't see, but he can open the souls of others with his music - big wow
This kid looks like Stevie Wonder, the way he smiles. Amazing piano player. Bless him.
Born at 24 weeks and didn't let that stop him from becoming just an amazing artist. A true inspiration!🎶
That cat's the serious deal!
I've got nothing on him.
Wow good to know the legacy lives on, I hope Mathew's generation appreciates him like we do Stevie.
I'm gonna go ahead and say that "talented" would be an understatement. Incredible.
Greatness at its best 🥰🤩💯🙏🏽🖤 now scientist are studying him..... Whoever put those thumbs down shame on you
Wanna put him into an #MRI and really see what happens in his brain while he listens to/plays along with music?
Yall done got some scary pictures ya gonna be lookin' at...

When Steve Harvey called him Matthew "Stevie Wonder" Whittaker..that was THE BEST❣❣❣
Here after 60 minutes 2/23/2020 ... that MRI scan !!!!! Wow !!!!! I have to experience your amazing gift live !!!!
WOW !!!!!' Thank you
Wow! Matthew Whitaker is a Phenom!!! He has such a great spirit and man oh man can he play!!
Sir, You truly inhabit the sprit of The Most High, Yah! Wow
he just gave me goose bumps. what a talent
I hear a Jazz element in his playing! He is GREAT!
@Geno Bourn ... Heard the same thing!
Yes, and classical.
He studies at Julliard
A bit of Brian culbertson
Your gift of music is a gift to us all. Inspiring! Thank you.
If I was to say amazing, it would be as if to say nothing! Humble and talented! Bravo!!!
I can't even explain what is like to watch this ... absolutely everything, everything I ever wanted to be as a pianist and never felt I could.
If you look closely you can see the keys smoking
I admit this is not my original comment but still funny and applies. The piano had a cigarette when he was finished.
🤣
Are you kidding me??!! 😳 He acts just like Stevie! That was INCREDIBLE
He got the Apollo crowd to sit and listen to a piano set in the 21st century! He has "IT"!
Yo this youth is Stevie Wonder reborn...if you've never seen Stevie pics as a teen just watch this youth
Literally just saw a peice done on him on 60 Minutes less than 5 minutes ago. His life is AMAZING! Just AMAZING! I'M A FAN NOW!
Thank you!

He makes it look so easy and fun! He has a gift, but you can tell he works hard at it.
Practicing and refining is the only way to do it.
Amazing talent. He will go far in the music world.
I GREW UP WITH HIS FATHER, AND UNCLES WE LIVED ACROSS THE STREE FROM EACH OTHER.
WOW!!!!!!! 😇😇😇
I'm white but I love this boy wow he can play,
Choo Choo could be because he’s a young kid, some people mention odd things like age or race or their dads job, things like that
This is awesome so so very awesome 😎
